There will also be an opportunity for people to light a candle in memory of their child.

Sands say this year they are including an optional additional element to the service. Parents are invited to bring along a gift/toy for the age their child would be this Christmas. Wrap it up, label it boy or girl and age and place it at the tree. Then all gifts received will be donated to a local charity.
